• Hakini mudra is particularly useful to counter the effects of stress, fatigue, and anxiety.

Follow these steps to try Hakini Mudra :

1. To practice this gesture, first bring the palms to face one another a few inches apart.

2. Bring the fingertips and thumbs of both hands together, allowing them to maintain light contact.

3. The hands can then be raised to the level of the third-eye chakra, in the center of the forehead.

4. In order to enhance the benefits of this mudra, the drishti (gaze) should be lifted towards the third-eye.

5. Additionally, whilst breathing through the nostrils, the tongue should be placed against the roof of the mouth with each inhalation, and relaxed with each exhalation.

6. Hakini mudra can be practiced for up to 30 minutes daily, either in one go or broken down into three 10 minute practices.

7. Although this gesture can be practiced at any time of day, ideally it should be performed during sunrise.
